MAXIMUM-CHARGE - NORTH DTAE 5 ------------------------------------- 〜A view of the past and present〜 ------------------------------------- Lore dump ig...! Reiichi and Amane knew each other for a long time.. Amane was pretty mean to him, commenting on Reiichi's "baldness" and lack of a tail. This "baldness" is just a rare genetic thing where they just have regular fur instead of hair like most anthro people in their universe. Maxx has this too but because he's a foreigner, everyone just assumed it's normal for his place of origin. One day, Reiichi found this strange, glowing compass. It was almost instant that it attached to his chest. It became a part of him in that moment.. magic and all. It started out weaker, so no one noticed for a while. (Especially when everyone was focused on his "baldness".) As Reiichi grew older, he became less attached to society, and tended to stay away from most people. He used this time to get used to the magic he was given all those years ago. New threats appeared, threats that were hard for the police to handle. It was then that Reiichi decided that he would rejoin society, under the name "The North Star", as a hero. He could put his powers to good use, and maybe one day, no one would make fun of him anymore. He would continue his endeavours for many months, alone, until the day Maxx came to their city. Maxx claimed to be a hero and quickly came to Reiichi's side upon finding out that he was also a hero. Reiichi initially declined Maxx, stating that he worked alone. Maxx was extremely persistent. Annoyingly convincing, too. He was the first person to not comment on his conditions (in a mean way), so Reiichi gave in. Maxx was weird in his own way, wearing boots. In this city, no one really wears shoes or any footwear, really. Everyone just washes their feet before entering someone's/their own house instead. When Reiichi meets Maxx, he only tells him his hero name, "The North Star", which leads Maxx to refer to him as "North" until he (somehow) gets his hands on Reiichi's ID. The in-universe explanation for Reiichi's choice of "The North Star" is the fact that his last name is Kitagawa. 北 is north, and to match his powers and appearance, he found "The North Star" to be fitting. (My own reasoning for his real name is the opposite, I named him The North Star first, then found a fairly common last name with 北 in it. Reiichi is just vibe based and a name I made up while trying to keep it normal sounding and not a kirakira name. 霊一 is just ghost/spirit and one put together. Reiichi exists as a name in real life but with different kanji, so I figured it was good.) ------------------------------------- Art Contents: 1. Thumbnail art 2.
